this is some Final Solution level shit right here.
how the fuck is the world letting this happen?
Because they have an ally with a very big gun on his hip. Politicial change is created from the barrel of a gun and they have lots.
It benefits the current power of the ruling classes and they know no morality but that which reinforces their power.
Most of the bombs and delivery systems are from
The United States is ethnically cleansing Northern Gaza. The blowback will be absolutely justified.
%30 also is from Germany which is following its proud tradition of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Keep using the word genocide. This isn't ethnic cleansing and never was.
The term ethnic cleansing has some problematic aspects and in my opinion it should not be used.
First of all, calling a campaign of genocidal mass expulsions a "cleansing" concedes to the racist ideology behind by implying that the victims are "dirt" whose violent removal leaves the place "clean" and better than it was before.
Unlike the term genocide which elicits a moral reaction in must people and has a clear meaning in international law, the term "ethnic cleansing" sounds less severe and calling something an "ethnic cleansing" does not impose any legal obligations on either the perpetrators or other international actors. By being so vaguely defined it allows disingenuous outside actors to talk the talk of condemning what is going on without having to walk the walk of taking material actions to stop it from happening.
"Ethnic cleansing" has a history of being used to whitewash genocide, making clearly genocidal acts sound more palatable to casual observers.
Instead, I think the term genocide is better in most cases. If you want to discuss the specific genocidal act of removing a tergeted population from an area, value-neutral descriptive terms like "forced population transfer" are to be preferred over euphemisms like "ethnic cleansing" in my view.
Always hated the term ethnic cleansing for the reasons you stated. Doing PR softening on the word genocide and implying the perpetrators are doing good through use of the word 'cleansing'.
Strong agree from me; cleansing isn't a word to describe terror.
And Zionists will tell you with a straight face that saying Israel is committing genocide is antisemitic.
zionists will tell you stright face "arabs must stop doing terrorism"
This "general plan" has the same aims as general plan ost. This is an extermination not an ethnic cleansing and calling it that is minimizing what is happening.
What is the practical difference between "ethnic cleansing" and genocide? I always thought they were just different terms for the same thing (specifically that "ethnic cleansing" was the more hitlerian manner of speech).
Genocide is intended to kill everyone in the target group. Ethnic cleansing includes genocide, but also mass deportation/expulsion.
Hearing some word on the vine. They're seperating men and women taking men to undisclosed areas blindfolded. Like khal Younis they will meet a grim fate. This is monstrous
Wow this proves how nuanced and both sided this conflict is! Don’t forget to vote (for the candidate I want).
It's gotten so hard to laugh at this joke; saying libs are ghoulish is an understatement. The election hasn't occurred yet and the genocide is at final solution levels with Kamala's full cackling support, with libs openly laughing when protesters tell them what's happening.
What did the killing of Yahya Sinwar signal, to cause the occupation's extermination to go into overdrive? Were they that scared of him?
they started this final solution level shit in northern gaza before he died.
Ya they were mentioning it couple weeks ago weren't they? It's just still rolling along.
It breaks my heart that I can't even engage in social media about this. The first 6 months of this iteration of Israeli violence nearly broke me as a person.
I don't have any words for this horror.
